29er Bowguard

29er Bowguard – Protective Cover for Forestay Fitting

Lightweight. Durable. Made for the 29er.

The 29er Bowguard is a precision-designed, 50g cover that shields the forestay fitting at the bow. Its purpose? To prevent sail damage from exposed pins and rings – the number one cause of gennaker snags and tears. Replacing single-use tape with a clean, reusable solution, the Bowguard offers unmatched convenience, protection, and sustainability.

Engineered to install in seconds using existing hardware, it adds no performance advantage and stays clear of all control lines and the bowsprit. Developed in collaboration with top sailors and tested under real conditions, this is the smart, class-compliant upgrade every 29er team has been waiting for.

✅ Fits all standard 29er forestay fittings
✅ Protects sails and sailors
✅ Replaces tape forever
✅ Fully class-neutral design (pending class rule update approval)
